Admissions Overview

City College accepts 66.6% of applicants, making it less selective than many four-year universities. This means students with solid academic records have a good chance of admission, though the school still maintains standards. Nearly 92% of students come from New York state, reflecting the college's mission to serve local communities. The school doesn't publish SAT or ACT ranges, suggesting a well-rounded review process. City College seeks students ready for rigorous academics, particularly in STEM fields where the school has built its reputation since 1847. They want learners who appreciate the value of accessible education and can thrive in Manhattan's diverse, urban environment while contributing to the college's legacy of producing leaders and innovators.
